It turned out really nice. After having done large weddings for my daughters...I think small and intimate might be the way to go. A lot less stress, money and time for sure!

I purchased the cake from our grocers bakery and added some fresh flowers to the top as well as a wreath of fresh mint from my garden all around the edge of the cake. Tip: make sure you don't use poisonus flowers like Hydrangeas...ask me how I know :( Yes this is cake #2

I made lemonade using Country Time powedered mix.

Tip- Add some fresh lemon slices and fresh raspberries to make it look pretty. I also added some colorful French Macaroons on a square white plate for color.

Flowers- I bought 2 bouquets of flowers from Costco and seperated them into 3 different bouqets two for the table and 1 for side table Plus I used some for the cake...more bang for the buck!

Tip: Always incorporate some fresh fruit on the table and place the fruit in a pretty bowl.

I have a large chalkboard in my kitchen nook and had my daughter write in a pretty font....Love is Sweet.

I can't loose any pounds these day no matter what I do. It seems like all women struggle at one point or another to loose some weight and feel better. It is a REAL STRUGGLE!

My beautiful youngest daughter has started a new blog about her life and about her starting her weight loss journey.

Emily is funny and real! I think you can all relate to her very open and honest feelings...I know I do! It takes a lot of guts to put yourself out there and take photos especially when you don't feel good about how you look. I am so proud of her no matter what she does or how she looks and of course I think she is beautiful inside and out....because she is!

Emily is one of the most kind hearted, fun loving, fiercely loyal as well and full of spice and vinegar you will ever come across. I know you will want to follow along as she goes through this journey.

About Me

I remember years ago looking at home decorating magazines and wishing my house looked like the photos in the magazine or that I could cook up amazing food, have a beautiful garden and be surrounded by family friends just like what they showed...I decided to live out my dreams in my own way!
